How do you find this out if they had your email wrong?

What is the email address theyre sending out notifications from??

im afraid comcast is blocking the email address because they do it with a lot of things without telling me!

I got my congrats email from brad@virtualdynamics.ca

 

[2deadeyes]

lol...I didn't even realize that I got one. Brad just emailed stating that I have until tomorrow noon to respond. Shipping is $33 to US & $28 to Canada.

I asked them to send me a PayPal request for payment. They did along with an invoice and sales order.
I'll post some impressions if it gets here before I leave town (Nov.2nd).

It's actually $33.00 Canadian, but that's not very different from $33.00 US these days.

I also got a confirmation. I forget exactly when I registered, but the wording of the email (I got verbatim the exact same message as swt61 posted earlier in this thread) suggested to me that they may do this in batches, and the sample size MAY not be closed. So, it can't hurt to go register; if they just use the group "people that registered since X date" for the following batches you might be eligible... though the size of the sampling would grow with each batch. I could also be completely wrong.

It took them about a full day to get back with an invoice and paypal info, but made it to my inbox a couple hours ago.

I am looking forward to this

I think the problem was grammatical imprecision; they were saying shipping TO the United States would be $33 CAD, while in Canada shipping was cheaper at only $28 CAD. So Canadian currency both ways, the difference being destination. I grant it could easily be interpreted the other way, but they didn't lie.

Disengaging grammar fanatic mode now, apologies swt61

So, we have at least 11 people from Head-Fi who won a power cord, and there are probably more. That's a pretty good ratio.

Is there anyone else in Australia that was lucky enough to be chosen for the "free" cable?

The quote they gave me for shipping is $72.90 CAD. Not so "free" huh...

Yes, it is not so free =_=

I really wish I am in the list of the next 75 lucky people

I thought that everyone had been contacted by now? If not, it means that either 100 is not the total number, or that nearly half (or more) of the recipients participated in this very thread.

 

[DSlayerZX]

wellll this is the email to one of the head fier

"Congratulations. You are one of the first 25 of 100 winners of the
Power Three cables that we will be selecting. Your name was selected
randomly from a pool of new subscribers to the Virtual Dynamics website."

So..... I guess is the first 25 people.. what interest me is that apparently the winner was selected not by the time of registration, but by random drawings

 

[SilverTrumpet999]

The original email (which swt61 has posted earlier in this thread) stated that as of a couple of days ago, only 25 winners had yet been selected. I think it is most probable that this is the only group as of yet, which means you are right infinitesymphony - nearly half of the recipients have posted here! A pretty good ratio indeed.

Anybody still interested should register at their site, just in case the future drawings are not closed.
